The exasperated creditors of the late
Archbishop Purcell at Cincinnati have
filed another report charging the COM
mittee of the catholic synod with lying
in their open address. The report
further alleges that the committee ap-
pointed to collect funds for the more
needy creditors was all a bluff in hopes
that the supreme court would be affect
ed in its decision by an apparent sim
cere move on the part of the church.
Archbishop Elder is asked to make a
specific account of $50, 900 which he is
alleged to have disbursed in 1879. Only
about $1,000 can be accounted for by
outsiders. The trustees of the fund will
be asked to take immediate action.

congressman Not Venal.
IN. Y. Herali.1


There is a too general impression that
Congress is venal body, and that con-
siderable part of its members are in
some way pecuniary gamers by their
service here. The contrary is true.
There is not more honest, incorrupti-
BILE, conscientious body of men in any
Legislature in the world than in the
Congress of the United States. The ex-
ceptions to the rule are few, and have
never been many, even in the most cor
rupting times Of the war and the in
fiated period after the war. There are a
very few men in every Congress who
aid or prevent legislation to serve cor
porations, or in other ways use their in
fluence and votes for other than public
ends, and with view to personal gain
for themselves. But oftenest even these
corporation Senators and members
quickly become sort of black sheep
among their associates.

Sound Sense From a Colored Man,

Sound Sense From q COlOPeO Man.
The Washington Bee, edited by a
colored man, says:
Senator ingalls, claims that colored
man who votes the Democratic ticket is
an migrate. What we want to know is
this: Is it anybody's business how a
colored man votes, or for whom he
votes, so long as he is conscientious in
exercising his right of suffrage for a
man for office whom he thinks will
honor the position and serve the best
interests of the people? What authority
has any one to question the right of a
colored man to vote for Cleveland in
preference to Blaine? All this clamor
about a colored man having no busi-
ness to be Democrat is all bosh. The
colored people like flock of sheep
following after a pan of salt, have been
blindly following the leadership of men
who only want the negro to be used as a
catspaw to rake out emolument chest
nuts for themselves. 1t is time for the
colored voter to think and act for him
self and be Prohibitionist, Independ-
ent, Democrat or Republican, as he sees
fit.

EARTHQUAKES.

Maryland Comes in for Her Share of

BALTIMORE, Jan. 3.-Dispatches were
received in this city this morning from
Westminster, Frederick, Emmettsburg
and other towns in Western Maryland,
stating that the inhabitants were con-
siderably excited over violent shocks
and land rumblings, which had awak-
ened them from sleep, and continued
at intervals from 11:30 last night until
early this morning. No damage was
done as far as can be learned, but as
that country is mountainous, the peo-
pie are apprehensive of grave trouble.
Congressman Shaw, who lives at
Westminster, says he was awakened
by what sounded like the blasting OF
rocks. Pictures were shaken from the
walls. The mercury at Westminster
was 40 below zero this morning.
